If just 10% of Muslims have been radicalised (
http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/20 ... -the-world) then that's 160m people, many reports now put the number closer to 20% and rising .... by comparison there were only 120m Germans and Japanese combined at the outbreak of WW II, remember Hitler started his assent to power in 1924 with less than 7% support ...
It's hard to imagine that people who supported Hitler in 1924 believed they could turn a population weary of war (
just like the Muslim community is today) into the evil Nazi nation of 1939 ... but put out enough extremist propaganda, paint yourselves as the
'victims' of the ruling elite countries (
just like extremist muslims do today) and the unthinkable happened and 60m people died ...
When you can also add in some religious fantasises and a few dozen virgins ... bingo .....
To bury your head in the sand and pretend that the radicalisation of 1.6 billion people is not possible? that would be spitting in the face of History ... stupidity of the highest order ....
The Muslin community needs our support in rooting out the 10% that are already poisoning their weaker minded followers, just saying
'it can't happen' sound very like Chamberlain and the League of Nations in 1938, and we all know how that ended up ....
However make no mistake this is a world issue, if the Muslim community can't do it then we must, appeasement is not, has never been, and never will be the answer ...
To people who say
"don't be worried, grow a pair" I advise you to go read some history ..... sure it sounds big and brave, but what you actual are saying is let's do nothing and carry on as normal .... history has shown us over and over that doing nothing empowers the extremists - Hitler - Stalin - Pol Pot - Sedong - Pasha - Suhato- Amin - Milosovic all allowed to take power right under out noses, just ignoring extremism never works -
What you should be saying is: how can I help? what can I do to break down barriers? how can I stand against radicals? .... the answer is
grow a pair and take some feckin' action because if we do nothing then history tells us that sure as eggs is eggs that a Muslim version of Hitler/Pol Pot/Amin will rise up, and when that happens my friends, we'll all be very fecked ....
